Home Interior: If You've Been Wondering Where I Went...

I took a pair weeks off from the spider web log to recharge my batteries If You've Been Wondering Where I Went...

Hey ya'll! Happy New Year! How was your Christmas?! How was your novel year?! Are y'all gear upwardly for 2014? I took a pair weeks off from the spider web log to recharge my batteries, travel, scout 48 episodes of New Girl, pass fourth dimension alongside family, too nap.

And oh, how I've missed you.

We merely got domicile from opor-garai yesterday, too I came dorsum totally rejuvenated too gear upwardly to boot 2014 correct inwards the belly.

After much thought, I've chosen this every bit my anthem for the novel year.

I've got some genuinely neat novel projects that I've been waiting until later the holidays to percentage alongside you, but it's gonna receive got me a few days to call back how to contribute to society, become mutual frigidness turkey alongside the napping situation, too halt eating Honeybaked Ham.

So, until my ham euphoria wears off, I idea I'd percentage a few piddling snippets of our vacation.

We started yesteryear driving 10 hours downwardly to Florida to see Jesse's family. His parents, both his sisters, their husbands, too all the nieces too nephews were all inwards attendance. And thence my brother, Mathias, fifty-fifty drove downwardly to encounter us there, on go out from the Navy. I've non been able to pass much fourth dimension alongside the piddling fella since he left before this year, thence it was merely genuinely nice. All inwards all, at that spot were nearly xiv of us there.

It was a packed house, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Mostly because I got to stretch out inwards comfy recliners, potable mass quantities of hot chocolate, too completely disappear into my Kindle.
All. Week. Long.

Sidenote: Please await at the exceed of the tree. That brownish blob is a real large brassiere that my brother-in-law gifted Jesse. I receive got no existent explanation for that fleck of awesome, other than to state y'all that it ended upwardly every bit a tree topper for nearly 8 days.

And no ane blinked an eye.
Which is merely ane of the many reasons why I honey Jesse's family.

It was by too large lots of relaxing, but every thence oftentimes nosotros ventured exterior the house.

The boys golfed a lot.

We saw some neat movies.

We went thrifting.

Just y'all hold off too consider what I found. Some of my BEST thrifty scores ever.

Coming soon to a spider web log close you.

Oh, too thence nosotros flora Herbert. Our novel pet.

We brought him domicile to Tennessee, too Tootie too Cheese absolutely adore him.

Kidding, of course.

That's merely some random photobombing Longhorn.

He never told us his existent name.

After nearly a calendar week too a one-half inwards Florida alongside family, nosotros left too Jesse took me to Savannah to celebrate New Year's Eve.

I had never been, too Jesse has wanted to receive got me at that spot for a long time. We spent three days there, too it's officially ane of my favorite places. Just such an amazing place.

My favorite expanse was the downtown historic district. We spent a lot of our fourth dimension there, sightseeing, eating, too walking around.

So much thence that I currently receive got a glorious instance of shin splints.

Totally worthwhile shin splints.

I intend I took nearly 115 photos over three days, 111 of which I won't brand y'all endure through, thence hither are merely a few of the highlights of Savannah.

Ok. Forrest wasn't genuinely there.
I'm providing this photograph for your referential needs.

Like full nerds, Jesse too I made it our mission to honor where Forrest's bench was inwards Chippewa Square too receive got a picture. Much to my dismay, nosotros got at that spot too discovered that at that spot was inwards fact NO bench. It was manifestly merely a moving painting prop that they removed from Chippewa foursquare later the filming of the movie. But, I forged forwards alongside my mission, enduring quite the show from a Equus caballus drawn railroad vehicle that stopped correct behind Jesse every bit he took this photo. Ponies volition endure ponies.

I'm grin on the exterior too crying on the inside.

Completely unfazed, Jesse decided to receive got the political party upwardly a notch alongside his posing-choice.

There was a line of piece of occupation of people behind us, waiting to instruct their painting inwards this same spot, too all followed suit.

It was a motility of sorts.

In other Savannah highlight news, nosotros went to tons of restaurants acre nosotros were there, every bit I am unashamed to acknowledge that this is my favorite opor-garai hobby, too every unmarried identify nosotros went to blew my mind.

Savannah has some crazy proficient food, ya'll.

I tried a Moscow Mule acre I was there, too. Oprah told me to practise it years agone (on a favvvvvorite things episode), but I didn't listen.

I should receive got listened. They're delicious.

Sidenote: Shortly thereafter I decided I MUST receive got a copper mug. Until nosotros googled it too discovered that they toll nearly $60 each. So, at in ane lawsuit I'm reworking my plan.

It involves pennies too hot glue.

I'm kidding, U.S. Mint.

Google tells me that pennies are made of zinc anyways.

After going all over the identify the outset ii days, nosotros met upwardly alongside some neat friends who were also at that spot for a few days too celebrated New Year's Eve at a rooftop eatery on the river.

There were fireworks, champagne, neat friends, too a completely inappropriate amount of fried pickles.
